Well, at this time of year in 1963 my mom would have just found out that I was on the way  :)

She would have to wait for November until I made my appearance, though!

Hey, it is a wierd coincidence that Valium was introduced the year I was born.....

Oh, wait a minute, that explains everything ! :o

:o - I was 4 years old. I can still hear Sidney singing, "Amen, Amen, Amen..." - really great stuff. :)

Valium was probably invented because ....I was four years old..... ;D

Television was at it's BEST, I'd say ! I so much wanted the Candid Camera to catch me back than !
